Kim Kardashian Eating Her Placenta Could Alleviate Pain — Experts

Kim K is another celebrity in the long line of Hollywood moms who plan to eat their own placenta after their baby is born, and experts tell HollyBaby.com EXCLUSIVELY the health benefits for consuming the afterbirth!

But even though wanting to eat the afterbirth might sound outlandish, Dr. David Ghozland, M.D., aboard-certified OBGYN, tells HollyBaby.com EXCLUSIVELY there are some real health benefits to the weird practice!

“More and more pregnant women are requesting that their placenta be saved after their baby is delivered, so they they can consume it. The placenta is rich in iron and nutrients,” Dr. Ghozland tells HollyBaby.com.

“When a woman delivers a baby, she loses a lot of blood and the body is in need of iron. It has been said that the placenta also contains hormones that help elevate the mood, increase energy levels and alleviate pain,” he adds.

“The placenta offers tremendous health benefits, including replenishing blood loss, helping with hair loss, helps with milk production, balances the hormones,” she tells HollyBaby.com. “My clients have had extraordinary results. They feel more energetic after giving birth, they are less prone to postpartum depression, the speed of recovery is much faster.

Dr. Ghozland warns that while many women swear by it, the positive effects have not been proven by the FDA.

Eating Your Own Placenta Is ‘Common For Mammals’

Even though the practice seems strange, Dr. Ghozland says it’s fairly common for animals to eat their own placentas!

“It is common for mammals to eat their placenta after giving birth. In fact, most animals do eat their placenta as a source of food and nutrients. After the baby is delivered, the placenta is put on ice and is taken to a facility where it is then freeze dried and made into small capsules, kind of like vitamins.”

“Eating your placenta is in no way harmful, but my concern is how it is processed,” he cautions. “There are lots of mom and pop shops out there claiming they know how to process the placenta into capsules, but you want to make sure that it is being done is a clean environment. The equipment being used has to be clean.”

1. It is only weird or “disgusting” because we are not accustomed to do so. Some countries do this still. We have a lot of artificial medicine and vitamins and is that more healthy?
2. Some women feel pain after birth. I had a c-section and was walking within hours while others cannot get up for days. People are different so don’t say there is no pain. Birth includes both vaginal and via c-section.
3. I would never eat my placenta but would never judge someone who would. To each their own. One thing is to decide something isn’t for you and another is to bash someone for doing something YOU are not comfortable with.
4. We have all sucked a dick in our life so claiming she’s had worse in her mouth means nothing.

They say they say lol. Doctors used to say certain cigarette brands were good for you too lol. So what? Just do anything the doctor suggests. If I were a doctor, I’d just mess with people all the time lol. Sillies

Just googling some other things that mammals do….some eat their own feces for nourishment. So will Kim Kardashian eat her own poop also and the media report on it?? Will she eat Kanye’s? Ray J’s? Reggie’s?

Clearly nobody reads but the headline is really misleading. Kim isn’t the placenta. People are acting she’s going to whip out a frying pan and have it for dinner. It’s put into pill form. A lot of women are doing this.

GROSS! Even though we are a country of many exotic foods: Philippines, we have not even tought of eating the PLACENTA or feeding it to a woman who just gave birth. We consider the PLACENTA SACRED. We bury it then say prayers for the mother and baby both. Even though it says processed, it’s still part of a human, it’s called CANNIBALISM.
->Just an opinion.

“Eating Your Own Placenta Is ‘Common For Mammals’”, to hide the scent of young and helpless animals from being eaten by larger and more powerful predators, not to help “mommy” “…look younger.” If she was so worried about her health then why didn’t she stay off the air planes as she said her doctor directed her to. And since when did eating peckers and getting pissed on make you more youthful. Trash.

If that’s the case…..then she should eat it to hide the scent of the stinky family. If not, Khloe will eat it. or Rob, or Khourtney. They’ll eat anything or anyone. YUCK!! If not, give it to Scott. He’ll shove it in some waiters mouth.
